LED reverse lights


SeanTacular

Did the tail lights as turn signal mod and decided to rewire old turn signal harness to the reverse light circuit and installed four 30 watt led projector bulbs. Great for blinding tailgaters when your stopped at the next light and especially at night.

Yuup. Reversing at night is way easier now. The turn signal housing is also reflected out to the side on an angle so the reverse lights light up a wide area now. Really worked on a tailgater the other night. I was stuck in slow traffic and catching every red light. This guy was right up my ass and even at red lights would stop when his bumper was an inch away from mine. So next red light I popped it into reverse and Bamm! He had to put his hands up to cover his eyes hahaha he stayed back 2 -3 car lengths until traffic started moving quickly again. Lol

To free up the turn signals you need to get the "tail as turn" module from diode dynamics.com. It's like $15 I think. Then buy 30w led reverse light bulbs off amazon or eBay (I got mine off eBay) then get vampire clips/wire splicers and run wires from existing reverse light wires to the turn signal housing and splice them in. Insert bulbs in sockets and your done. I ran the extra wires from the reverse lights around the tail gate and down to the outside tail lights.

Or you could just change the 2 existing reverse light bulbs to the led projector style bulbs. I originally got the idea from animal mother. He put two 60 watts bulbs and that's how I knew I could run four 30 watt bulbs without melting any wires. That would be the cheapest easiest way.

So with diode dynamics module bellow, this will put the turn signal on the brake light. And then run wires from the existing reverse light to the turn signal. That seems to be a piece of cake. Will this void the warranty though?
